"The United States of America heads fast to a schism"
U.S. bishops non-decision in Denver on pro-abortion politicians and Communion widens Catholic divide...
"We do not want a separation within My Son's House. The United States of America heads fast to a schism. Fight, My children; do not give in to the forces of evil. Fight the enemy with prayer." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 29, 1976
LifeSiteNews.com reported on July 5, 2004:
The disciplinary split in the US Catholic Church continues to widen with bishops contradicting each other over the issue of pro-abortion politicians and communion. In April, Washington's Cardinal McCarrick appeared to contradict the instructions of Francis Cardinal Arinze who said that pro-abortion politicians should be refused communion. McCarrick responded that though he is personally opposed to pro-abortion politicians receiving communion, he would not be "comfortable" refusing them.
Since then the US bishops have met in Denver to discuss the problem and the result has been a document that threw the "difficult" question back onto individual bishops to decide one diocese at a time. This non-decision has had the effect of drawing a map of a US Catholic hierarchy divided between those who will obey their Church's clear directives and those who will obey media-generated public opinion.
In the diocese of Santa Rosa, Bishop Daniel Walsh has dismissed the possibility of denying communion to pro-abortion politicians calling the idea "an election year ploy." On the issue of "dissenting" politicians, Bishop Walsh said in a statement, "In this diocese there will be no trying to force people to do what their conscience tells them they cannot do, or vice versa… The sacraments are not used as a bludgeon, a weapon to enforce Church law. Out of respect for the sacraments and the faithful, (dissenting politicians) would normally refrain from the Eucharist until they were in unity with the Church." A priest of the Santa Rosa Diocese said that in the case of a person who persisted in public sin and reception of communion, "they would be notified that they could no longer receive the sacraments, and that priests of the diocese would be so instructed. This would, however, be a highly unusual course of events, one that has not been invoked here in recent memory."
In Delaware, however, a different tune is sung by bishop Michael Saltarelli who pledged that Catholic institutions in his diocese "will not honor" pro-abortion politicians. Calling the promotion of abortion a "grave and serious matter" he goes on to state, "it would be more spiritually beneficial for such a person to refrain from receiving the Body and Blood of Christ."
The Roman Catholic Church uses very precise language in its theology and the term "grave matter" means that the action in question is what is commonly called a mortal sin. The 1983 Code of Canon Law, however is explicit where it states, "…others who persist in manifest grave sin, are not to be admitted to holy communion." Bishop Saltarelli says that individual priests and ministers of communion are not to take upon themselves the decision to refuse communion. He says it is, "…ultimately my responsibility in light of Catholic moral theology and the Code of Canon Law. At this stage, I much prefer the active engagement and dialogue called for by (USCCB document,) 'Catholics in Public Life'."
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed
himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also,
My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession.
"What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose
his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor,
but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of
mortal nature!"
- Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1976
The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
“EVEN KEEPING
HIDDEN THE MAJOR PART OF MY MESSAGE”
"Fatima, My child. And how many sought and acted upon My counsel . . . even
keeping hidden the major part of My message. And now it has come about, for
it will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal." - Our
Lady, December 7, 1978
FAITHFUL AND
TRUE: BANNER FOR ALL CHILDREN OF GOD
"The Father has chosen the words Faithful and True for reason. It will be
the banner for all children of God who remain in the light. You will pray
for your cardinals and bishops. The time is coming, My child, when you will
see bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, as satan has set
himself among them." - Our Lady, October 6, 1974
CARDINAL AGAINST
CARDINAL
"The time will come when brother shall fight against brother, cardinal
against cardinal, bishop against bishop, satan setting himself in their
midst. But know that the Father will have all under control. It is in this
manner that He will separate the sheep from the goats." - Our Lady,
November 1, 1974
“THE TIME IS
NOW”
"The time is now, My child, the forces of evil against the forces of light:
father against son, mother against daughter, bishop against bishop, and
cardinal against cardinal, with satan setting himself among them!" - Our
Lady, May 17, 1975
“MY WARNINGS AT
FATIMA WERE CAST ASIDE”
"My child, in the great trial ahead in My Son's House, Church on earth,
there shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, as satan
has set himself in their midst. My warnings at Fatima were cast aside as
they are being cast aside now, My children. It is a failing of human nature,
My child, that that which does not give pleasure to the carnal nature of man
is not accepted. Man shall blind himself to the truth, as he does not wish
to face the truth. And those who seek to bring him the truth are cast aside
and do much penance, My child." - Our Lady, September 13, 1975
ALL THAT IS
ROTTEN SHALL FALL
"Come out of the darkness! The Red Hats have fallen and the Purple Hat is
being misled. Cardinal against cardinal, bishop against bishop! All that is
rotten shall fall. Blood shall flow in the streets
—revolution
upon revolution! Do you not know—have
you learned nothing from the past history of mankind—that
the Father will chastise those He loves? Awaken! You have fallen asleep, Our
pastors! You shall not follow as sheep to the slaughter those pastors who
have given themselves to satan, those pastors who have sold themselves to
the world of satan. Many will sell their souls to get to the head." - Our
Lady, September 27, 1975
SATAN SHALL SET
HIMSELF IN THEIR MIDST
"The Red Hats have fallen and the Purple Hats have been misled. The time
will come when there must be a separation of the sheep and the goats. There
will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, and satan shall
set himself in their midst. There is in the Eternal City of Rome, My
children, a great delusion. The light has not passed that way. Error upon
error is coming forth. The enemies of God have taken the highest positions
in My Son's Church. It will be cleansed by trial." - Our Lady, October 6,
1975
GREAT CONFUSION
IN THE HOLY CITY OF ROME
"There is great confusion, My child, in the Holy City of Rome. You must pray
a constant vigilance for your pastors and hierarchy. It shall be bishop
against bishop, cardinal against cardinal. Satan has set himself in their
midst." - Our Lady, November 22, 1975
“YOU HAVE
ALLOWED SATAN TO PLAY CHESS WITH YOU!”
"There shall be a war in My House: bishop against bishop and cardinal
against cardinal. And why? Because you have allowed satan to play chess with
you!" - Jesus, May 26, 1976
“I GIVE FAIR
WARNING”
"I give fair warning, as your Mother, that the world has set itself upon a
course for its own destruction. In My Son's House it shall be bishop against
bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for satan has set himself in their
midst. It shall be mother against daughter, father against son. There shall
be discord in the home as the family heads struggle to maintain the Faith."
- Our Lady, June 5, 1976
SATAN HAS BEEN
INVITED IN
"When I am returned to remain guard at the tabernacles, and my name is
returned, you will find the people flocking back into the houses of their
God. Instead, now I have been locked out and satan has been invited in. His
agents fill the seats of the houses of God. The battle will rage with great
ferocity in the House of God-bishop against bishop, cardinal against
cardinal, until the score has been settled in favor of the Eternal Father,
your Creator." - St. Michael, August 21, 1974
“BLOOD SHALL
FLOW IN THE STREETS OF ROME”
"Unless you pray more for your bishops, there will be chaos in Rome: bishop
against bishop, cardinal against cardinal, while satan stands in the midst
of them. Blood shall flow in the streets of Rome. Your Pastor, the leader of
your sheep, shall flee in terror." - Jesus, July 15, 1976
THERE SHALL BE A
WAR AMONG YOUR CLERGY
"The Eternal City of Rome shall go through labor pains. The struggle shall
lead to blood within the streets. There shall be a war among your clergy. It
shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for 666 has
entered upon Rome. I repeat, My children: awaken from your slumber! 666, the
forces and agents of satan, have entered upon Rome!" - Our Lady, July 24,
1976
BISHOP AGAINST
BISHOP AND CARDINAL AGAINST CARDINAL
"There will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for
satan has set himself in their midst. Bishop against bishop and cardinal
against cardinal, for satan has set himself in their midst. All that is
rotten shall fall." - Our Lady, August 14, 1976
“LONG AGO I
WARNED YOU AT FATIMA”
"My children, long ago I warned you from Fatima, I warned you through many
voice-boxes throughout your world that the time will come when you will
embark upon a stormy sea, and it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal
against cardinal, and satan shall set himself in your midst. He shall
maneuver and pit you and play you against each other in his plan to destroy
My Son's House. Recognize what is happening now upon your earth. I say unto
you, O pastors in My Son's House: if you do not listen, if you continue to
proceed upon your present course, you ask for the heavy hand of My Son to
come upon you. Your world shall be cleansed with a baptism of fire." -
Our Lady, November 20, 1976
PERSEVERE TO THE
END
"It will be brother against brother and sister against sister; and it shall
be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, as satan has set
himself in their midst. Persevere to the end and you will be saved. All who
acknowledge My Son before man shall be acknowledged by Him before the
Father." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976
SIN OF OMISSION
"The
sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy. I
repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to
hell. Among them there will be also mitres." - Our Lady, October
6, 1980
